Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Cosmelite cream contains Mometasone, tretinoin and Hydroquinone. It is usually prescribed by dermatologists for Melasma and Pigmentation over face.
Usage is limited to 2-3 months because prolonged use can lead to steroid related side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasis, facial hair growth specially in females.
It should always be used under the supervision of a dermatologist and that too for not more than 2-3 months
I would advice that you visit a dermatologist who might ask you to use a triple combination cream like 'cosmelite' initially for 2-3 months but after that usage of a cream containing ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, tetrahydrocurcumin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate OR liquorice extract is advisable which are safer to use in long term.
Use a Broad spectrum sunscreen, which is a must throughout the day.
take care
regards
